379 The House Of Doom
Arianna and Mimi arrived at the company and thanks to the guidance from Luca, they were able to locate their team. In total, they were a team of six – two n and four won.
“You must be Jade and Layla,” One of the n in the team stepped forward to welco them, his gaze fixed intently on Arianna and staring over her body in a way that made her a bit uncomfortable. It was one thing to admire her body, but it was another to give her that lecherous gaze Kenith usually has for her – when he was alive.
And yes, Jade and Layla was the na they were using for this mission. The na “Jade” was derived from her eyes while Mimi simply thought of any nonsense in her head. She previously wanted to be called “Lala,” but seeing how childish it was, settled for Layla instead – thankfully.
“And I’m Fred, your fellow cleaning partner for the day, you look more beautiful than on your portfolio,” The man was quick to introduce himself before Arianna could even say a word.
“Thank you,” Arianna only said, dismissing him as she settled her gaze on the other team mbers.
Arianna knew she was a beautiful woman and would surely draw attention, but she never thought one of them would be bold enough to hit on her before they even started. Thankfully, she was the supervisor today and she would assign him as far away from her as possible once the cleaning starts. The least she wanted was so dude ruining their mission just because he couldn’t keep his dick in his pants.
Suddenly, Fred was pushed aside by so petite figure who introduced herself as grace. She said, “Don’t mind Fred and his ways because the information reaching my ears is that he has herpes,” She pointed out that he was a player.
“Grace!” He glared at her but the girl only chuckled because the deed had been done already. Not that Arianna didn’t know his type in the first place, but it’s nice to see soone looking out for her even though they hardly know each other.
Arianna decided she liked the girl and they would have been friends except that they weren’t permitted to make one because as soon as this mission was over, they would disappear from the surface of the earth as if they never existed.
.....
Mimi didn’t have a hard ti mixing with them because she already got the other two people talking and her friend had never had problems socializing in the first place – hence it didn’t surprise her.
After getting acquainted with one another, they settled down for business. Their cleaning equipnt and chemicals had been loaded in the back of the bus already, hence they just did the last check before getting into the company bus.
They were to work in the company uniform which consists of a t-shirt that had the company logo printed on them with pants, shoes, a cap, apron, and a yellow-tinted safety goggle for their eyes. But then, they ca to the facility with their normal clothes and would change their uniform at the site aka Daniel’s house so they don’t have to worry about stains on their clothes.
On their way to Daniel’s place, unlike what Arianna thought, there was nothing but loud chattering on the bus as Mimi and her new friends made use of their ti discussing.
Arianna had never been big on making friends and would rather have her thoughts to herself while keeping a clean head for this mission, unlike Mimi who talked the stress off. It was her own way of battling the nervousness else she would be a jittery ss.
“Nice ring you got there, oh my God, it seems the diamond is real,” Grace tried to touch it when Arianna jerked her hand to her chest defensively, stunning the girl. Just one push at that diamond in the center and she would have discovered sothing was wrong with it.
Seeing her reaction, Grace apologized instantly, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have done that without your permission,”
“It’s alright, I’m not used to people being too close,” More like pushy, she didn’t say out loud.
“You must be engaged then,” She said.
“W-what?” Arianna choked out, eyes wide.
“The ring? That must be your engagent ring, no wonder you treasure it,” Grace said and Arianna looked down at the ring and nodded imdiately.
“Yeah, it is,” Arianna affird. Who was she to disagree with that without creating suspicion? How she wished it was true though.
But then, Arianna caught herself at the last minute. How could she be thinking of an engagent when they hardly even started dating. Not to ntion that she and Marcel hadn’t defined this relationship yet.
“It’s so beautiful,” Grace swooned, “I bet your fiancé must be so rich, lucky you.”
Was Marcel rich? Probably, else how does he manage his luxurious lifestyle, not to ntion the fact that illegal activities pay more. However, she didn’t care if Marcel had money or not, those were just superficial and a bonus to their relationship. She liked Marcel because he’s Marcel, nothing else.
Arianna bet Grace wouldn’t say how lucky she was if she knew she was dating a Mafia Lord. Yep, no life is perfect no matter how it seems, she wished to tell her yet kept it that way. After all, they wouldn’t be seeing each other after this.
Fred was the one driving which ant that she didn’t deal with his flirting or annoying stare, but once in a while, their gaze would connect through the rear view mirror and she would glare at him, hoping he kept his eyes on the road and not get them killed.
And so the journey went because an hour later, he announced dramatically, “And now, welco to the house of doom,”
At once Arianna lifted her head to the outside through the window and gulped, now she saw why Marcel was worried about her.
Aside from the fact that Daniel lived on the outskirts of the city, ten-foot-high walls surrounded the inside that they were yet to see.
In one word, this place was a fortress, and once let in, it was difficult to get out without their approval. Arianna turned and her gaze connected with Mimi’s and she could see the fear in the girl’s eyes as well.
